There were a lot of "I agrees" and personally I found it hard to contribute a lot. but Naomi instead of having to follow people talking out loud you can retread it to understand better and instead of just agreeing add new ideas and points and that's what most people did but I understand what you mean bcz if you don't go on for awhile you have to read it all so your not being repetitive |

I can never think of anything to say about the story unless I can actually relate to it or if it is very interesting to me

[/li][li]Where in our discussion can we find examples of informal language? Why has it been written that way? For speed? Clarity? Something else? [/li][li]What made it easier or more difficult to follow the conversation? [/li][li] Where might someone not used to reading and writing this way have difficulty? [/li][li] Does it make sense for this audience? Is it appropriate? Is the meaning clear? [/li][li]What do you notice about the way the conversation flowed? [/li][li] Are there any subvmissions that follow Standard English conventions? What is your perception of them? [/list] #1- we tended to use "idk" and "u" quite a bit. I would say it was for speed, and to et the message across quicker. And since we all tend to text/Facebook each other those things, we just did the same on here to because I guess it seems as a familiar environment. #2-it wasn't really difficult so there, so I guess the things that did made it easier was how we could just talk to each other like we would anyways over the Internet. It was good all in all. #3- like I said, it wasn't very difficult, but when it was, it was the grammar and spelling mistakes. People who aren't used to that kind of communication would probably ask WHY we were talking like that. #4- yeah it makes sense. If we already talk like that, what would make us feel the need to change? #5- like mentioned in class, there was a flow, until somebody completely changed the subject or said the same thing in their words. Or I agree. |

And for informaL language there wasn't much punctuation when we wrote and wasnt looked over so there was lots of run on sentences and all stuff like that

maybe for question one (other then for speed and clarity), the way you say for example "idk" instead of "i don't know" is for tone. like nobody sends an email with "idk" in it to their boss because its not professional ,but in a more relaxed place its fine! because its a more relaxed environment (like ciarra said)

I think the conversation was pretty easy to follow because we used abbreviations and language that everyone knew. There was a lot of texting language involved which makes sense coming from this audience. It was the kind of stuff you can read over once and understand right away. It was the kind of wording you would use if you were talking and that makes it easier to understand. The conversation was also pretty easy to enter into or comment about because it flowed nicely.

The conversation was pretty good and stayed on topic it a lot different with online writing vs a piece you would hand in I have to quote devon though a lot of people just agreed with others and I dont think anyone cared at all

In the conversation people were using idk (I don't know) and other short ways of writing words. it's been written this way for speed and because writing in txt form is allowed when your writing online. I think our conversation was boring and didn't really go anywhere because everyone kept writing I AGREE which didn't add very much

To me it's much easier to have online conversations because I can express what I want to say clearer then I could in a face to face convo.

Personally I thought the conversation we had was great. Most of it was easy to understand, and it was mostly on topic. I found it easier to post online than it is to participate in class, because you can look over what you've written before posting. Anyone agree? I agree because then you know, and can think on what to say.  |

 This is kinda bringing up previous conversation, but just CONSIDER the following because to me this conversation isn't really goin' any where. I think everyone feels that way.We've all talked about that in class right? So maybe if we use some constructive criticism towards every post-even your own- than perhaps it(the conversation) might go further.It could help form a discussion because some people would agree with the criticism and some people won't agree. So it helps to form discussion. Right??( this IS a bit off topic,but it could help the conversation) What do you think? POST IT!
